I'll be honest. I've always looked for a valid alternative to Adobe Acrobat. And I've tried a lot of products.
I've also read many reviews, and I've always found out that many are fake.
Then, I started to try by myself a considerable number of applications.
In the end, I've understood that not only is PDF-XChange Pro the best valid alternative to Adobe, but I think it's so configurable that now I'm sure Adobe is not the best.
Adobe is one of the groups of apps that can manage PDF files.
To be short, I have to adapt to a new interface, but I work very fast for my things.
The only "drawback", if I can call it so, is the speed of OCR: other apps are a little faster. But that's ok.

So, if you are looking for a great app that lets you do literally what you want with PDF files, PDF-XChange Pro is a must.

Some of the devoted users of PDF-XChange are convinced that this is the best PDF editor there is. Others swear by the features for the price. My experience was good, however there was nothing mind blowing. But maybe that’s the point. While nothing stood out as incredible, there was also nothing that stood out as annoying or in the way. Nothing was missing nor was anything confusing or frustrating. PDF editors and that line of work can be frustrating as it is, with enough complication. So, by having a system that is easy to use and simple with understandable processes to edit and modify a given document or project, is PDF-XChange ahead of the curve?

I was impressed that even with the amount of PDF editing I do, I did not have to switch to another program. That says a lot to me. I did not have to jump to one I was more familiar with just to get my work done. So in that sense as well, this is a huge positive.

I think this is a great product that has the ability to be your one and only PDF-Editor without any compromise.

Buongiorno, perdonate se scrivo in italiano ma non conosco l'inglese. Ci tenevo a testimoniare che uso Pdf XChange Editor da un anno e ne sono pienamente soddisfatta. È un alleato indispensabile, grazie a questa applicazione ho risolto il problema dell'archivio di pratiche infinite: registri contabili, registro unico del lavoro, anagrafiche dipendenti, inventario dei beni patrimoniali... tutto ordinatamente conservato in tanti file modificabili. La possibilità di inserire note recuperabili con la funzione "cerca", di inserire segnalibri e rinominare, spostare le singole pagine mi permette di avere un archivio ordinato ed efficiente perché trovo l'informazione che mi serve in pochi secondi. Non potrei più farne a meno, lo consiglio vivamente.

Hallo zusammen, das Programm ist übersichtlich aufgebaut. Es arbeitet sehr schnell und sehr zuverlässig. Endlich mal ein Handbuch zu einem PDF-Programm, das klar verständlich ist und entsprechend umfangreich. Genauso wie die Einstellmöglichkeiten im Programm selbst. Die Fein-Tuning Möglichkeiten sind hervorragend, aber nicht "erschlagend", so dass man wirklich vernünftig arbeiten kann. Die Funktionsvielfalt ist erschreckend gut. Ich vermisse nichts. Hut ab. Verglichen mit den Programmen, mit denen ich vorher gearbeitet habe: Adobe zu teuer, oft zu ungenau, Abstürze und Ungereimtheiten (die Druck Ergebnisse waren nicht das, was eigentlich vom Bildschirm und von den Einstellungen her erwartet worden wäre). Bin dann aufgrund dieser Umstände zu einer Kombination aus Foxit PDF Editor und Readiris PDF 17 (und später 22) gekommen. Ich habe lange mit dieser Kombination gearbeitet. Readiris wurde hauptsächlich zum Komprimieren (iHQC erzeugt sehr gute Qualität, bei sehr geringer Größe) und Geradestellen benutzt. Die anderen Bearbeitungen mit Foxit. Der ständige Wechsel zwischen den beiden Programmen hat mich dazu erwogen, mir ein neues Programm zu suchen. Und ich habe einige, wirklich einige, ausprobiert. Aber ich muss sagen, an X-Change Pro kommt keiner ran. Und noch einmal - Kudos to you!
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

I can't believe it took me so long to discover this program! All those wasted years using my legal copies of v9 and v11 A-dope and not willing to buy another legal copy due to their price gouging. It always took me a long time to figure out how to do things in Adobe, but it never takes more than a few seconds in PDF-x. It's so much more logically laid out, and the help understands what I'm looking for without having to use specialist language. It's also easy to put the things you use the most right on the quick menu at the top of the screen. Not to mention it took all of a few seconds to define default fonts and formats for added text (something adobe doesn't even support as far as I can tell!) I also added my favorites to the Home menu (I crop and OCR scanned receipts and user manuals a lot.) The new OCR engine is sweet. I also used the convert to XLSX and got a spreadsheet that was actually in the proper columns and rows! Thanks, PDF-XChange!

5 Stars!

Your products are beautifully programmed. The PDF-XChange Standard writer has a beautiful margin control feature, and, it doesn’t “slice” the photos and images. Very nice. Visual appearance of reports is the best. Everything is fantastic. And that includes your PDF-XChange Editor as well.

Für mich ist das das beste PDF PRogramm. Es ist sehr vielseitig und man kann vieles damit sehr einfach realisieren.
Ich nutze es schon viele Jahre. Kennengelernt habe ich es bei meinem früheren Arbeitgeber, einem Konzern. Nun bin ich Freiberufler und kann mich nicht beklagen.

I have to confess... I use PDF-XChange Editor for a long time. And now I can enjoy a legally bought copy of it! Most of all I like how easily you can make small changes in most of the PDF files with no conversion back and forth. Sometimes I even use it as a simple vector graphics editor! Some days ago I tried OCR functionality. And to my big surprise, PDF-XChange Editor did it well despite the fact that the document was in Russian.

It Kicks Adobe Acrobat's ass!

PDF-XChange PRO is by far the best pdf viewing software I've used and I've used Adobe Acrobat PRO, Wondershare PDF Element PRO, Foxit PRO, PdfPro10, Soda PDF, EaseUS PDF, etc... I deal with large construction plan sets ranging anywhere from 300 to 2,500 pages of floor plans, specs, elevations & site plans. The site plans are usually really big and have a lot of layers and details on them and most pdf viewers will freeze and or crash. PDF-XChange PRO will view them with ease. There are some that will lug it out for a second or two but that is long after all the other pdf programs have crashed.

This is truly an amazing software especially for people working with large pdfs with thousands of layers, notes & tables that haven't been flattened.

Good work!

I’m the partner assigned to IT at our small law firm (less than 10 attorneys).

We have used PDF-Xchange for several years. I switched to PDF-Xchange after trying out 10+ different alternative to Adobe Acrobat, including Foxit Phantom, Nitro Pro, and Nuance Power PDF. PDF-Xchange has the great balance of a fair price, relative ease of use, and speed (even on slower or older computers). The OCR has been improved and is, in my opinion, on par with Adobe Acrobat (a bit less than pure OCR software, but I don’t need perfect in that area) and is fairly fast. The company supports the software and user suggestions are often implemented.

Give the software a try; it’s worth your time.

For legal users, does bates stamping and redacting like a champ and handles very large pdfs (I do trial work....) without an issue.
